'''Agnessa Haikara'''
She was born in Murmansk to a family of Finnish origin.Tatyana Britskaya, [https://novayagazeta.ru/articles/2020/1 ... s-chteniem Чекисты увлеклись чтением. ФСБ изъяла из типографии книгу о репрессированных финнах]

In 2007 she graduated from Murmansk State Technical University. For 17 years she worked as a civil servant as Murmansk regional ''duma''.

She wrote a documentary book "Неизвестная северная история О трагических судьбах кольских финнов и норвежцев, подвергшихся политическим репрессиям" (''Unknown Northern History. About the tragic fates of the Kola Finns and Norwegians who were subjected to political repression'') about the persecution of 210 Murmansk Finns and Kola Norwegians (printed in Finnish as ''Kuka koputtaa ovellesi?'', ''Who is Knocking at Your Door?'', translated by Pekka Iivari, in 2023[https://www.minervakustannus.fi/kirjat/ ... kirja=1884 Kuka koputtaa ovellesi?], book review).

The 2020 Russian print of the book was confiscated by the Federal Security Service right from the printing house and Haikara was accused of "incitement of ethnic hatred". Her advocate insisted that the experts on whose opinion accusation was based were lacking competence, and the second expertise performed in 2022 refuted their findings.[https://novayagazeta.ru/articles/2022/1 ... alas-media Запрещалка сломалась.

Fortunately, Haikara went to Finland for research right before the events, in August 2020, and right before the Christmas she was notified of the FSS raid. FSS did denied the seizure of the books, and because Haikara had a contract to deliver 25 copies to the Ministry of Culture of the Murmansk region, the ministry accused her of the breach of contract. Fearing prosecution, she did not return to Russia and finished her book while staying in Lahti.[https://novayagazeta.ru/articles/2021/1 ... zakazu-fsb Опять по заказу ФСБ.
